"Stopped here for gas and lunch. Service was great, food top notch! They use beef tallow to cook their fries - sooo good! Blueberry pie was fantastic as well."
"Friendly ppl...great little stop...good food at the restaurant or just grab some gas and a snack and drink"
"We had a great stay at the lodge. Rooms were clean. Food was good and service from Misty was great with Southern charm. Chris and Gigi have done a great job reinvigorating the lodge. I didn’t realize they had the convenience items as well."
"Cozy rooms with windows (at least my room did) Friendly staff. Nice seating area in the back as well as small cabins. Paid $160 for the night yesterday for one of the main rooms near the cafe. My trailer and vehicle were safe and untouched 👍🏻"
"The Eureka Roadhouse Cafe is FANTASTIC! Absolutely wonderful food and superb staff. We stopped in for breakfast on 9/30/25 and was met by the owner. What a warm and hospitable human being. Such a nice, friendly young man. Very accommodating and the food was over-the-top. Much thanks to the chef and the owner/waiter. We sat at the corner table, admiring the Mantanuska Glacier and surrounding mountains while indulging in delicious breakfast fare. My wife and I visited in 2019, but today’s visit was surprisingly updated. The new owners have updated the fuel pumps (contactless pay), freshened up the restaurant aesthetics and now supports local artists and artisans by providing purchasing opportunities of their talents. I hope this place continues thriving for many years."

"Good food and great place to stop for gas and a fresh cup of coffee. Nice staff and even have a small store for convenience foods."
"Very decent lunch options with great service. French fries are a huge upgrade from several years ago. No more thin, limp and greasy fries, just hot and crisp normal size. Still have home baked pies, nice."
"Can't say enough nice things about this place! The new owners and everyone else that works there is great. The food is great and they cook with beef tallow which is a huge plus. Definitely worth the stop if you're driving along the Glenn Highway."
"Stopped here for lunch while cruising down the Glenn Highway. It was our first meal in Alaska and turned out it was the best one. Missy, our waitress, was FANTASTIC—great service and conversation! I ordered the corned beef hash + reindeer sausage and it was great! It was my first time eating reindeer sausage but it was excellent. I got the blueberry pie and it was excellent as well. I will definitely return here on my next vacation!"
"We stopped there for lunch. Great hamburger and fries!! Took a piece of pie for later. Most scenic location with the majestic mountain view outside the window."
"Nice place to stop in the final frontier. Gas , snacks and a clean restroom."

"Recently I was a bone head and got my truck and trailer hopelessly stuck while trying to park near the Lodge. Feeling completely embarrassed for my rookie move I swallowed my pride and went into the Lodge to see if anyone could help me. Chris the owner immediately offered to help out and never once made me feel bad for my poor life choice. He then spent over an hour with his skidsteer helping me move my trailer out of the way and helping with the truck. Ultimately we managed to get everything sorted out and still managed to have an awsome snowmachine day with my wife. If it wasn't for Chris and Eureka Lodge the day would have been ruined. These people are extremely generous, kind, and really exemplify the Alaskan spirit. We are looking forward to supporting their business in the future!"
"We came in after a quick snowmobiling out to the snow cave and ate in the restaurant. Even though it was busy, the waitress was attentive and the food came out so fast! The fries were absolutely delicious 😋 my husband and I had different burgers. He had the bacon cheeseburger and I had the Swiss mushroom burger and we both loved them! All around us everyone was talking about the desserts so we had to try one of the home made pies. We had the banana cream pie, and it sure did not disappoint! A huge thick slice with a flakey crust and the filling is enough to bring back the best memories of your Grandma's best pie. 👌 because it was busy, it turned out the owner came in to help out. He took the time to chat with us and was so kind and personable even though he had a million things he could have been attending to. We discovered he'd just taken over in January. So shout out Chris for the great food, great service, and taking the time for each customer with a great smile. We got to meet a few of the kids and his wife as well. It was an honor! We look forward to hopefully staying in one of the cabins next time we visit. Thank you!!"
"We stopped here after leaving John Lake for a meal.
Service is wonderful!!
Absolutely lovely folks there, and I highly recommend stopping in if ever you find yourself in that neck of the woods."
"Can't wait to go back. Great food, great service, and the place is beautiful"
"Love the eureka lodge. Come hook up for me electric while you ride or eat a hearty breakfast before you enjoy the hundreds of miles of trail. Even refuel your plane if you want."
"Great pie omg best stop on the way to Glennallen on my bike appreciate the great service and clean restrooms staff was amazing very helpful"
"The $0.25 coffee is legit! Loved it! The pancakes and biscuits and gravy were also pretty good too, I would totally recommend stopping in and grabbing a bite to eat here. Here. Everyone was super nice and friendly, glad I made it to this spot."
"I have heard about this lodge for 6 years now. Apparently the year I was born my future husband stopped on his way from Valdez to Anchorage and got so sick from the onions his entire life he hates onions. This story is to merely make you laugh on how much my husband has loathed white onions since. I never stop hearing about how gross onions are when I am a lover of French onion soup. Apparently this place is great except if you're a kid traveling middle Alaska in the mid 80's - cheers"
"Place is absolutely amazing. Must stop on your Alaska road trip experience… food was amazing and the pie was the perfect topper. And how can you beat the view!!"
"Always a nice place to stop on the way to and from Valdez. The service is great. Very friendly staff every time I have been here. The soups and wonderful."
"After forgetting completely to get gas before leaving town they were an absolute lifesaver for us. We considered renting a room but they were closed that night so we pressed on. I also have to tell you I can't remember the last time I pumped my gas before I paid, It was a nice little trip back in time to do so."

"It’s beautiful if you get a window seat. It’s so wide open and pretty. The lodge itself is very nice. You wouldn’t expect something like this in what seems like the middle of no where. If you want breakfast make sure you get here before noon. I love it. Tons of tourists, nice people and great hosts"
"After a couple of days camping in Wrangel National Park, I was in dire need of some good old-fashioned comfort food. The diner I stumbled upon was exactly what we needed and more. We ordered the burger and grilled cheese, and both were absolutely delicious. The burger was juicy, and the grilled cheese was perfectly crispy.
After not eating well for a few days, these dishes were exactly what we needed to recharge. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The diner provided a great ending to a great trip.
I would highly recommend this diner to anyone who is looking for a quick and tasty meal, especially if you're coming off a camping trip and craving some good old-fashioned comfort food."
"A year ago we were headed to Anchorage . We had a flat tire and the lady came to work and seen us sitting in the car waiting for tow truck to come. She invited us in to the lodge. We had my 2 year old granddaughter and my 4 year old grandson. They had toys for the kids to play with, that helped kill the time waiting for the tow truck. Stop there today and the lady remembered us. That is why we stop there every time we can."
"Amazing place to stay at if you are just visiting alaska. Has an amazing view of deniali and great food."

After getting married, now it's a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon with a slice of pie! If you haven't been here, you're missing out on the real Alaska! Get up there, see gunsight ridge, and eat some pie!"

The talented staff was cheerful and busy sanitizing as customers left. Food was great as always but Kudos to all for the extra effort to keep us all safe during these trying times. Great place, good food and efficient service. Highly recommend!"

"Home Made Pies. If you're visiting Alaska and you want to enjoy a dessert that locals travel hundreds of miles to taste then you need to stop at Eureka Lodge. I personally enjoy the Chocolate Cream Pie, but I think they have about 6-8 different varieties of pies to choose from. Stretch your legs and enjoy a quick meal during your travel in Alaska at the Eureka Lodge. Credit cards accepted, no smoking inside, and make sure you have your shirt and shoes on. If you get your order To Go then expect a charge ($0.50) for the box.
